(Y/N), and Spike were in the Golden Oak Library helping Twilight improve her magic while Spike is standing opposite of Twilight.

You've got this, Twilight.

Come on, Twilight. You can do it!

Okay, here goes.

Twilight concentrated her magic through her horn and aimed it at Spike and then. . .

**

Spike now had a fancy mustache on his face.

Ha ha! You did it!

Spike runs over to a list with magic spells on it and checks off the same spell that Twilight just did.

Growing magic, that's number twenty-five. Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting.

Nice job Twilight! Making facial hair on somepony. . . well in this case dragon, is a pretty advanced spell. You definitely have a huge talent in magic.

Twilight blushed a little at (Y/N)'s compliment.

And I think this is the best spell so far.

Spike then goes to a mirror and admires his new mustache.

Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache.

(Y/N) gave Spike a judgmental look while rolling his eyes.

Spike, I don't think having a mustache would make Rarity fall for you.

And as attractive and enticing as you look, it's just for practice, and it's gotta go.

No! Wait!

Twilight then makes the mustache on Spike disappear disappointing the dragon.

Aw, rats!

Sorry Spike, but that's just how it's gotta be. Anyways, (Y/N) you said that your a master at combat spells right?

Yeah, why?

I was wondering if you could show me one. I mean you were able to survive Nightmare Moon and you read a lot about combat when it comes to magic show I wanted to see a demonstration.

Hmm. . . well I can do this.

(Y/N) then projects a magic barrier with his magic surprising Twilight.

Whoa! I've never used a spell like this before!

Twilight walks over to (Y/N)'s barrier and touches to feel the extremely hard mass it has.

Surprised huh? I can even do THIS!

(Y/N) then puts some magic energy into his hoof and punches the barrier he just made, making a tiny smoke explosion. Both Twilight and Spike were shocked by (Y/N)'s knowledge of combat spells. Twilight then runs up to (Y/N) with her eyes twinkling with a huge smile on her face.

You've got to teach me those spells (Y/N)! Please! Please! Please!

Twilight was up in (Y/N)'s face at this point as he was blushing.

S-Sure. Of course, where should we start?

(Y/N) spent an hour teaching Twilight some of the magic spells that he can do and now they're walking across Ponyville together with Twilight a tiny bit exhausted from the magic lessons that (Y/N) can do.

Phew. Making a shield or putting magic into your hoof to make yourself stronger is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Don't worry Twilight, I'm sure with enough practice with me, you'll be able to learn those spells in no time.

Twilight perked up at hearing that (Y/N) could give her lessons on magic and she had a thought in her mind while blushing a little.

Lessons?! With (Y/N)?! Wow, that could be amazing! I could have him all to myself for a whole day!

Twilight? Twilight!

Spike got Twilight to break out of her romantic thoughts as she faced Spike.

Anyways, as I was about to say, twenty-five different kinds of tricks and counting. Nopony has learned so much spells so quickly. Don't you think so (Y/N)?

True, not many unicorns are talented in magic as you are Twilight. You should consider yourself lucky.

Twilight blushed a little at the praise she was getting from both Spike and (Y/N).

Oh please. I'm sure there are lots of ponies right here in Ponyville that know just as much magic as me.

Are you kiddin'? I don't think there's another unicorn in all of Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight.

If there is, I'd like to meet that unicorn.

Gangway! Comin' through!

A blur of greyish opal and brilliant amber then collide into Spike.

Augh! Snips, Snails! What's goin' on?

Snips is a short and round unicorn colt with a greyish opal coat, moderate orange mane and tail, black eyes and his Cutie Mark is white and light grey open scissors while Snails is a lanky and thin colt with a brilliant amber coat, moderate turquoise mane and tail, black eyes his Cutie Mark is a pink frowning snail.

Wha, haven't you heard? There's a new unicorn in town!

Yeah! They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!

Really?

Aw, no way, that honor goes to Twilight here.

Where is this unicorn?

She's in the town square. Come on!

Yeah! *laughs* Come on! Whooo!

(Y/N) then stood forward and faced Twilight with a determined look.

I say we go see this unicorn. She's about to meet the only alicorn of Ponyville.

What are you saying (Y/N)?

Clearly when someone makes a statement like that, they're probably either trying to advertise or just straight up gloat about themselves being better. Let's see just how magic this unicorn that they speak of really is.

(Y/N), Twilight, and Spike arrived at the town square where a large crowd in front of a trailer and (Y/N) spotted Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy in the front of the crowd and he walks up to join them.

Hey girls, you're all here to see this unicorn as well?

Yeah, apparently she claims that she's the most talented unicorn in all of Equestria and is here to strut her stuff so we're here to witness what she has in store for us.

Then suddenly the show starts to began as the trailer unfolds into a stage.

Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!

A puff of smoke appeared on the center stage and once the smoke cleared, it revealed a unicorn mare with a brilliant azure coat, a pale cornflower blue mane and tail with very pale cerulean stripes, dark greyish violet eyes and her Cutie Mark is a light blue magic wand and crescent moon and she is also wearing a lavender magician's hat and cape with blue and yellow star designs on it. This unicorn mare is none other than the Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon.

(Y/N) saw Trixie and had slight blush on his cheeks.

She's not that bad looking, to be honest.

The Mane 6 noticed (Y/N) checking Trixie out and they all felt a tiny bit jealous that (Y/N) was admiring Trixie's looks and not theirs.

Watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony eyes!

Then after Trixie's little introduction, fireworks erupted around her, earning a lot of "oohs" from everyone watching except for the Mane 6.

My, my, my! What boasting!

Come on, nopony's as magical as Twi. . .

Spike was about to rant before he saw that he was talking to Rarity.

Twi. . . Twi. . . Oh! *clears throat* H-Hey Rarity, I uh. . . mustache!

Spike then ran off while (Y/N) rolls his eyes.

*mumbles* Told him that mustaches aren't the key to winning someone's affection.

There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?

Nothin' at all, 'cep'n when someone goes around showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons.

Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us.

You two do realize that you're indirectly saying that Twilight's a bragger right?

Applejack and Rarity went wide-eyed at (Y/N)'s claim as they both see Twilight with a sad expression.

O-Oh, not that we have anything against your talent Twilight.

Y-Yes darling! You're different from this Trixie here as you don't boast about your talents.

Yeah, I mean that's my job.

(Y/N), Applejack, and Rarity glare at Rainbow Dash.

*nervous laugh* I mean you're not a bragger like Trixie.

That's what I'm saying though, you all are no different. . . and neither am I from boasting about our abilities. Rainbow Dash, you always claim to others that no one can match your speed, Applejack, you sometimes act stubborn when you think that you don't need help on stuff, and Rarity you sometimes brag about your fashion sense or beauty.

The three turned to each other with conflicted looks as they knew that (Y/N) was right.

But still, I'm no different. I sometimes like to be shown the hero around Ponyville and I sometimes admire it to myself. But don't feel too bad everypony, there is a difference between bragging to yourself and to your friends and an entire audience. When I'm around the citizens of Ponyville or you girls, I'm actually more humble than when I'm with myself.

(Y/N) then turns to Trixie with a serious look.

However, the same cannot be said for Trixie.

Trixie then eyes the conversation that the Mane 7 were having and wasn't amused by it.

Well, well, well, it seems we have some neighsayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?

Pfft, just who does she think she is?

Yeah! We all know that Twilight here is- Mmph!

(Y/N) placed his hoof over Spike's mouth to silence him.

Not the time Spike! Not the time!

Twilight mouthed a "thank you" to (Y/N) which he nodded to while Rainbow Dash flew in front of Trixie.

So, "Great and Powerful Trixie". What makes you think you're so awesome, anyway?

Heh, why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major!

Fireworks then flew up into the sky with the blast decorating the sky with the outline of a huge bear whose forehead is marked with a starburst. There were now gasps and murmurs all around.

What?!

No way!

When all hope was lost, the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the Ursa Major and sent it back to its cave deep within the Everfree Forest!

Snips and Snails instantly believed Trixie's story and started praising her like fanboys, while Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity glared at Trixie. (Y/N), however was snickering at the story Trixie made.

Seriously? Is everypony literally going to fall for this?

Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville.

No, in all of Equestria!

However, suddenly (Y/N) couldn't hold in his laughter anymore as he started cracking up he was on the ground. Everypony including the Mane 6 were looking at (Y/N) confused, however Trixie was both confused and irritated.

Excuse me, but can Trixie ask what you find funny?

*laughs* I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But what I find funny is your story. Your story is good, I'll give you that, but it's completely made up!

Made up?! How can you say that?! Ponies lives were in danger-

OBJECTION! I hate to burst your bubble, "Great and Powerful Trixie", but you made two contradictions in that story.

Really? What could the Great and Powerful Trixie say that makes my tale so untrue?

(Y/N) then stepped forward looking up at Trixie who looks down at, but somehow doesn't notice that (Y/N)'s an alicorn yet.

First, you said that the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to, correct? So, that means that our beloved Princess Celestia would abandon her citizens to defend themselves!

The crowd then started to mumbling over (Y/N)'s protests as they could tell that that was indeed true.

If I know Princess Celestia well, she would rather die in battle than abandon any of us in trouble!

Trixie was sweating a little that (Y/N) was slowly denouncing her.

And second, you said that you were able to vanish the Ursa Major, but you forgot one thing and that thing is. . . proof!

(Y/N) pointed at Trixie who flinched at little.

If you're so "Great and Powerful", then show us. . . SHOW US that you very did indeed do your heroic action. SHOW US that you defeated the Ursa Major. SHOW US THE PROOF!

(Y/N) said this loudly and as if by fate, a gust of wind blew Trixie's hat off and nearly made her cape fly into the air. The entire crowd then started cheering for (Y/N) especially his friends.

Yeah! You go (Y/N)!

You show her!

Trixie was not amused by this as she put her hat back on and glared at (Y/N) while getting the rest of the crowds attention.

ALRIGHT! So what if it is not true? Maybe the Great and Powerful Trixie didn't accomplish this feat, but clearly your place is beneath my level of magic. Like you could have done something equally better? If you have then I would love to hear it.

I'm glad you said that actually.

(Y/N) then flies up into the air and Trixie then has an extremely shocked look on her face when she sees that (Y/N) is an alicorn.

Wha?! But! How?! Y-Y-You're an alicorn?!

Exactly and you're looking at the same alicorn who fought Nightmare Moon to save Equestria.

The crowd then cheers as they do indeed know that (Y/N) actually did fight Nightmare Moon. Trixie then smirked and was about to contradict (Y/N) as well.

Ha, you say that Trixie does not have proof, yet that Nightmare Moon story sounds even more ridiculous than any other made up story that a foal could bring up.

Oh, I have proof and it's right here.

(Y/N) then flies down to the Mane 6 and smiles.

My friends here witnessed my battle here. Tell her girls.

Yeah, you should've seen it! He was all like BOOM! BANG! POW! Towards Nightmare Moon!

Those onomatopoeia's are a little bit exaggerating Rainbow Dash, but it's all true. Ah witnessed this guy able to fight for our darn lives!

Our lovely (Y/N) here is more than just an alicorn here, he's a hero!

Hmph. So maybe it is true, but your magic is no where compared to mine. As a matter of fact, the Great and Powerful Trixie has a better way to resolve this here.

Everyone then looked at Trixie with curious looks.

What do you mean?

Me and you will have a magic duel tomorrow to see who's really more Great and Powerful.

What? T-That's not what was wanting to-

You stated that you have magic more powerful than Trixie's, I hereby challenge you to a magic duel.

T-That's not what I was implying at all, I just said that my story is true compared to yours.

Making excuses now, Mister. . .

(Y/N).

Hmm. . . what a very unusual name for such a bold and daring stallion. You're just trying to be all talk, even if you're an alicorn, your skill of magic is WAY beneath mine.

(Y/N) was about to retort to that, but Rainbow Dash beat it to him instead trying to defend (Y/N).

Hey! I'll have you know that if my friend here can beat Nightmare Moon, then he can dish out anything you throw at him.

Rainbow Dash!

What?

(Y/N) then facehooved at Rainbow Dash's statement as she basically just said that (Y/N) claims to be better than Trixie.

Is that so? Well, then (Y/N) do you accept my proposal for a duel?

(Y/N) was the one now sweating as many of the ponies were now looking at him for his answer. (Y/N) knew he couldn't humiliate himself like this, so he had no other choice.

*sighs* I accept.

What?! No! (Y/N), you don't have to-

Very well, if I win then you admit that Trixie is all Great and Powerful, plus becoming Trixie's personal assistant for a month.

What?!

(Y/N) then had a determined look in his eyes.

Deal.

WHAT?!

If I win however, then you have to admit that your story of the Ursa Major is fake all around.

Perfect, tomorrow we shall soon see who has the better magic. Well it seems Trixie's afternoon performance has been cancelled, but don't worry, tomorrow's performance will twice as grand!

With that being said, Trixie throws a smoke bomb and disappears from the stage. The Mane 6 then ran up to (Y/N) and surrounded him with shocked looks.

(Y/N). Are you really going to battle Trixie?

Don't be worried Fluttershy. I'm an alicorn so I can handle it just fine. *sarcastically* Also, thanks a lot Dash.

What?! What did I do?

I know I may be very good with magic, but did you really have to speak for me like that?

Oh. . . oops.

By the way (Y/N), you just told everypony that it's not always good to show off, yet you just did.
